Adult coloring books (such as Secret Garden) have
exploded in popularity in recent years, embraced for their
calming, therapeutic effect. This elegant, imaginative
coloring book explores the dynamic, fanciful creations of
iconic fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, who headed the
House of Dior at the age of twenty-one before launching his
own design house at age twenty-five. He became famous for
the "beatnik" look in the sixties, as well as creating the
tuxedo suit for women, and his colorful life was the subject
of a recent feature film, Saint Laurent. The
book's line drawings for coloring are based on many of the
designer's original sketches for dresses over the years,
accompanied by full-color photos of original dresses for
reference. In these pages, one can see the breadth and
versatility of his creations; there are designs inspired by
harlequins and the Carnival of Venice, Pop Art and Mondrian,
and the cultures of Asia, Africa, and beyond. Colorists will
in turn be inspired to match St. Laurent's vivid creations,
or to create chic new color combinations of their
own. The Yves Saint Laurent Coloring Book is
for fashionistas, coloring book enthusiasts, and others with
an interest in the history of fashion and in the life of
this extraordinary designer. Full-color
throughout. This book is produced in conjunction with
the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent, dedicated to
preserving and promoting the history of the House of Yves
Saint Laurent.
